SOME FAST SHIPS.

SOME remarkably fast vessels,
both for war and passenger SER
Woe, have recently been built in
England. The former, however,
though built in England, are not
for the British navy. The swift
est craft yet turned out of an En-
glish dockyard-and probably the
swiftest constructed anywhere up
to the present-are three torpedo
boats supplied to Spain, Italy and
China. The Chinese craft is the
slowest of these, but her speed is
2S.S knots. The Italian torpedo
makes 25 knots. These two boats
are about 130 feet long by Ii feet
beam, and are equipped with tor
pedo guns, fore and aft. But the
swiftest craft of all is the torpedo
boat built by Thordeucroft for the
Spanish government, which is said
to have made the extraordinary
speed of 29.01 knots, or some
what more than thirty-three miles
an hour. The fastest craft
In the English navy is the
.Ssletto, whose speed ranges from
22.12 knots in a trough sea to 22.89
knots with all the conditions fa-
rorable. Thus, the .Stiletto holds
only the fourth place among tor
pedo boats. She is smaller, how
ever, than those mentioned above,
being only 80 feet in length, and
therefore most difficult to hit.

MATTERS between the o. r. &
N. Co. and the people of eastern
Washington, says the Telegram,
are in about this condition: "The
company declares it cannot carry
wheat between Walla Walla and
Portland at less than $5 per ton
and pay running expenses. The
people declare that they cannot
pay more than 50 per ton and
make running expenses. If facts
bear out these assertions on both
sides it is apparent that the peo-
pie of that region had better seed
their fields down to grass and
raise stock, since surplus of that
kind could be driven out of the
country, and no thanks to trans
poftation lines. There is clearly
II u
no point to farmers in giving
the crop year after year for the
sake Of getting it placed in market,
and no point to railroad
companies in carrying it at loss.
The way to get at the facts in
the case is to observe which OF the
two forces in the contest get the
better return for labor and invest
ment, as indicated by their rela-
tive prosperity, the farmers in the
eastern Oregon and Washington
region, or the transportation com.
pany that has long served them in
taking their crops to market" T"
But a better way would be to take
it down the route marked for it by
the hand of the Creator-the Co.
lumbia river-as it will be some
time, when the obstructions at the
Cascades and The DalIes are re.
moved.

A Romance Of the War.

A recent copy Of an Indiana paper con-
tains the following paragraph:
Married. By the Rev. DR.. Turnhull,
George A. Dawson, of Louis aua, to Miss
Alice Lemon, of Washington, ID. e.
This marriage is the sequal to an un-
usually romantic story. George Dawson,
a young Captlin in the Confederate army,
lay seriously injured in 1854, a prisoner
of war, iu the nited States Hospital at
Indianapolis. One Of the ladies who WIS.,
itcd the hospital frequently and admin
lstered alike TO the wearers of the blue
ard the gray was Mrs. Gray, the
wealthy widow of a Union officer. In
these isiti Mrs. Lemon was usually ac-
compan;ed b. her daughter Alice, then
little miss of ten years. n fast friend
ship sprung up between the young Con-
fcderate and the little Union girl, which
continued some moaths until the former
was exchanged and sent back to his reg
iment.
Seven years ago Mrs. Lemon died, and
Miss Alice, through the efforts Of her
friends, secured a clerkship in one of the
Washington departments. Her health
grad ally ia led, and last October she re-
signed her position and went West to re-
side with relatives. The announcement
of her resignation was printed in one OF
the , ew Orleans papers, where 1t met
the eye of Captain Dawson, now a Dig
nifed bache or of middle age and one Of
the richest planters on the over Missis-
sippi. Captain Dawson Immediately
wrote Miss Lemon and asked her if she
was his little sweetheart OF former years,
and if so by what caprice of fortune she
had been thr1wn upon her own resources.
| Miss Lemon answered the Captain, de-
failing their financial losses at the
time of the Jay Cooke failure and the sub
sequent death of her mother. Captain
Dawson thereupon mailed the lady
check for 81, 900, which he begged her to
accept as q slight rccOmpense for her
mothers kindness to him while pris-
oner of war Miss Lemon returned the
check, saying that under no circum-
stances cou,d she receive it,
Captain lawson then came North to
see if he could not personally prevail
